“We had the most amazing dining experience we've had in awhile. Our server was attentive without hovering. We ordered the gulf fish (Drum) for my son and we did the Chef's choice. Everything came out with perfection. Our drinks were never empty and no courses overlapped. Needless to say we left full and blown away by the whole team at Plates.“
“I don’t know where to start but maybe with the meticulous approach to everything from prep to plating. Every dish was immaculate. The vibe was blessedly chill. Our server Catherine (who I sensed handles greater responsibilities) was cordial and informative, including her wine selections. We went with classics tonight: ceviche, mofongo, arepas, ropa vieja, and everything was perfect. I love this place so much.“
“Effervescence is a little off the beaten path but is worth the journey. They have an excellent selection of bubbly by the glass, it's not only Champagne but from all around the world. The brussels sprouts were some of the best I've eaten but the food in general was very good. The owner is very friendly, highly recommend making this part of your New Orleans food experience!“
“Why go to NOLA to eat tapas? Well, I'm the kind of guy who can eat tapas anywhere. Throw some pimenton on it; slather it in EVOO; add some chorizo to it (the FIRM stuff, not that rawdog Mexican stuff) and I'm THERE.Costera is not very authentic tapas, but who cares? The food is terrific. Fried garlic so crispy you'd swear it was bread crumbs; octopus so succulent it might still be writhing; happy hour deals so half-off you might still be drunk. Costera is fun; Costera is casual. Costera delivers. The white bean casserole has bits of pork that scream into your tastebuds.Don't skip dessert; you're going to want ALL trés of those leches, mi amigo.“
“I was only in town for one night and went to Rosella on the advice of a friend. It was lovely! The food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and I loved the overall vibe. I also had a chance to chat with the owners for a few minutes and could tell they really care about the neighborhood and their employees, as well as providing a quality product. I highly recommend supporting this locally-owned restaurant and the wonderful folks bringing their vision to Mid-City.Parking: There's a small private lot behind the restaurant.“
“Four of us ate there Friday night, a combination of tapas and a seafood paella to share. The owner also waits the tables, so be prepared to relax. The paella was exquisite, one of the best I've ever had. We shared a bottle of the house white, an albarino. The food was all delicious! The owner is so gracious and aims to please. Excellent value for the money.“
“I LOVE this place. The employees are fantastic, the ambience is wonderful, and the wine picks are amazing. There’s always someone to help you pick out what fits your taste, and BONUS! There are bottles to buy & take home for yourself or gifts. Amazing place and go happy to have it here in Algiers Point!!!!“
“This is a quaint/small place with a nice bar and good service. We stopped in for Dinner on Feb 25, 2024. We ordered the Korean BBQ Bowl, Charcuterie Creation and Creole Meatball Appetizer. Everything was delicious. The highlight was the charcuterie which contained many meat, cheeses, crackers and fruits for a reasonable price.“
“Oak seemed to me as more a wine and cocktail bar that serves food than a restaurant. The food is good it just doesn’t seem to be the main focus, primarily small plates. Service was friendly and prompt. The live entertainment was was very good without being overwhelming. Overall a nice place to spend some time.Vegetarian options: Some non-meat dishesKid-friendliness: An adult environmentParking: On street parking in the area and a paid lot about a block awayWheelchair accessibility: Somewhat accessibleDietary restrictions: Staff will work with restrictions you make them aware of“
“Great lunch here today. The ceviche was very good, it had good texture, it had a bit of heat but didn’t come on too strong. We also shared the paella which was a modest portion but perfect for us to share. Our server who I believe was named Paola was just the right level of attentive. The bathroom was shared with another establishment and were clean and wallpapered with old life magazine covers which was interesting.Parking: Limited parking which can be tough to find on weekends.Kid-friendliness: This is child friendly, particularly during the lunch hours.“
